Pocket-Sized Summer Travel Essentials From Carmex

With summer finally here you’re probably packing your bags to hit the beach, the road, or just your back yard. Now you can ensure your pucker is always on point this summer with these pocket-sized travel essentials from Carmex and tips from Shannon Tor, Director of Research & Development for Carma Laboratories, the company that makes Carmex lip balms!

Soaring temps can leave your lips dehydrated because “your lips don't have any oil-producing or sebaceous glands, so the only moisture they get is from saliva,” explains Shannon Tor. Saliva in turn “evaporates quickly and enzymes which dissolve oils can actually lead to dry, chapped lips.” Be sure to pack Carmex Lip Balm in a tube to keep them lips hydrated!

Hotter weather can leave your makeup melting so this summer go lipstick-free and instead sport well moisturized and protected lips with the Carmex Protecting Lip Balm Sticks. Plus, Shannon Tor explains that your natural lips are designed to be flaunted “since your lips have fewer layers of skin than the rest of your body, underlying blood vessels, blood-filled capillaries, are close to the surface, giving your lips a reddish or pink tint.”

With summer often comes summer romance so before you pucker up, turn to the Carmex Lip Balm that has been around for 77 years to make your pucker memorable! Shannon Tor explains that “a lip balm is only as effective as the ingredients in the formula” and that the time-tested formula of the Carmex Lip Balm “contains camphor and menthol to soothe severely dry lips and petrolatum to create a long-lasting protective barrier.”
